Garland Rug Medallion Chili Red Indoor Area Rug, 5' x 8'

After reading reviews I pretty much knew what to expect. They aren't the softest or the thickest rugs but I just needed something to protect my newly refinished hardwood floor in a high traffic hall. With dogs, a teen and a crawler this was a pretty good compromise. It does pick up lint like someone mentioned. My husband loves the subtle pattern since he likes things simple, its just enough to give me my need to break up the bland solid color. I love that it has a rubber no skid backing as I havent yet tripped over a corner that one of our pack surely would have otherwise left askew by now. I wish it were a bit softer for baby's tender skin on his knees as he puts miles on his knees with his new crawling skills. But, I have to say the non skid is more important as its only a matter of time before he starts walking, or running, up and down the hall. Be aware they stretch out of shape a bit, so if you need perfect edges this isn't for you.

I liked the color and design well enough and the product was reasonably priced, but this runner was too lightweight and too flexible for my purpose. I needed a stiffer kind of carpet instead. I would recommend the product in general if stiffness is not an issue.
